Togo will use the March 2026 FIFA international window to take part in a Morocco-based friendly tournament, where the Sparrowhawks are scheduled to face Guinea and Niger as they continue preparations without a permanent head coach.
The programme was confirmed after the Togolese Football Federation entered the Morocco Capital of African Football Tournament to ensure competitive fixtures during the international break.
The event brings together several African national sides, with matches set to be staged in either Rabat or Casablanca.
Togo’s first outing in the mini-tournament is scheduled for 27 March, when they will meet Guinea national football team.
Four days later, on 31 March, the Sparrowhawks are due to play their second friendly against Niger national football team, also known as the Mena.
The two fixtures form part of a structured effort to maintain match rhythm and squad cohesion during the FIFA window.
Participation in the Moroccan tournament offers Togo an opportunity to test combinations against regional opponents while operating in a neutral environment.
With multiple African teams involved, organisers intend the gathering to provide meaningful preparation time and competitive minutes outside of official qualifying campaigns.
The fixtures arrive during a transitional period for Togo’s national setup. The team has been without a head coach since the dismissal of Nibombé Daré at the end of December 2025.
In the absence of a permanent managerial appointment, the March friendlies represent a chance for the squad to maintain continuity and evaluate options ahead of future competitions.
For the Sparrowhawks, the back-to-back matches in Morocco are expected to serve as both preparation and assessment.
Facing two West African opponents in quick succession provides a compact testing ground, allowing technical staff to observe tactical execution and player chemistry under match conditions.
While the tournament carries no competitive stakes, it ensures that Togo remain active during a key international window.
The scheduled encounters with Guinea and Niger underline the federation’s intention to keep the national team engaged and visible as it works through an ongoing coaching transition.
